Piggybacking on my post from last night I thought I’d share a website that was brought to my attention that I’ve used a bit at work. Its called nowdothis.com The idea behind it is that you go in and setup a list of tasks and it gives you the first task on the list. Its just a blank screen so there is very little distraction. You hit the page and get your task, work on it, and then mark it done and you get the next task. When you’re all finished it has a happy message about being all done! Its quite a simple idea really but it can be a great help to keep reminding me what I’m working on (or supposed to be…). I even experimented with having it in my side bar in firefox but I decided I didn’t need it to be there all the time. The page serves as a great reminder of what I’m supposed to be working on if I think I’m starting to get off track. There is no registration required and I think (not 100% sure) because it uses cookies and javascript you could actually pull it up and then go offline and use it so you could disconnect yourself from the web if that is one of your time sinks. Go ahead and give it a shot!
